Chapter 2 Bad Money! Find Microsoft

The next day, the weather was just right and the autumn breeze was blowing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt was exactly 10 o'clock in the morning, and several goods finally woke up one after another.

"Fatty, you said yesterday that you want to make a game and start a company, but there is a problem, where does the money come from, and the brothers can support you with more than 100 catties" Li Yong asked

"Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks, so you don't have to worry about money. It is estimated that it will be about the same in a few days," Du Ziteng replied

"Money, money, money, how do you make money? Kindness.... By the way, Microsoft 2000 seems to have only been released for a short time, according to his urine estimates, there are a lot of bugs, and you should be able to get some money for Microsoft to catch insects, I remember that it is also written in several novels, it seems to be reliable" Du Ziteng thought

Several guys in the dormitory left, leaving Du Ziteng alone in the dormitory, and he turned on the computer.

"windows98" booted very slowly and took a few minutes, after all, everyone understands the previous software and hardware. The operating system is windows98, and there are a lot of bugs that have not been filled, and then Du Ziteng began to tap the keyboard with both hands, quickly typing the code. It took nearly two hours to finally fix the bug in version 98. After all, there is technology that is more than ten years ahead. The operation is still relatively fast.

This is not safe, if you want to make Microsoft's money, it is not simple, Du Ziteng doesn't want to be discovered now, so he can only disguise first. In the network, if you want to disguise yourself to deal with it, the system must be safe, and you must also catch broilers, act as your own cannon fodder, and springboard. The most important thing is to write your own dedicated software.

In a blink of an eye, more than a week has passed, and during this time, Du Ziteng finally prepared his various tools for committing crimes, caught hundreds of broilers by the way, and spent some means to open a secret account in a Swiss bank.

Then Du Ziteng used it, and the broiler sent an email to Microsoft.

The content is as follows: I came in in the process of using this operating system, found a lot of problems, for the development of Microsoft, and the experience of global customers, I provide two bugs to your company for free. If your company needs follow-up bug data, I am interested in selling it to your company. The price is very cheap, $100,000 for a bug. A total of 16 were found in the next, and they were no worse than the two just offered. I'm a kind person, and I'm going to sell these 16 bugs to your company for $1.5 million. I hope that your company will reply within three days. If not, the data may be sold to Apple or IBM. I believe they will give me a satisfactory price. (These words probably mean that Microsoft Lao Tzu has caught your handle, hurry up and give Lao Tzu money, otherwise Lao Tzu will sell you to your opponent.) )

The inscription is: Microsoft supporters and Windows enthusiasts

"Boos, I just got a blackmail here," the female secretary said, handing the printed mail to Bill.

"Blackmail, dear Linda, I heard you right, someone is actually trying to blackmail us Microsoft"

"You heard it right, Boos, a self-proclaimed windows enthusiast who claims to have found some bugs in windows and offered us to buy them for $1.5 million......."

"Have you checked the first two bugs?"

Looking at the document handed over by Linda, Bill's face began to become solemn, although Bill has quit the development team, but he still has a technical foundation, and still understands the importance of these bugs. If that's the case above, there's a good chance that Windows will have these bugs

"NO," Linda replied

"Then what are you still standing with me, notify the technical team as soon as possible to verify, I need a detailed report" Bill said angrily

"Okay Boos, I'll go right away"

At this time, Linda also understood the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly notified the personnel of the technical team to verify.

Ten minutes later, Will, the chief technology officer of the technical group, came to the president's office

"Boos, those two bugs have been identified, I really don't know how that guy found them," Will said, surprised

You must know that Windows has only been discovered for a short time, and before the system is released, Microsoft has hundreds of internal software testers to test, eliminate bugs, and ensure that the system is intact before releasing it.

Admittedly, no system can be completely bug-free, and over time, there will always be some bugs that will be exposed. But it's incredible that this guy can find so many bugs in such a short period of time.

"Did you find the IP address of the email?"

"Found"

"Where?"

"Right here at our Microsoft headquarters," Will replied with a wry smile

"Well, I see, I'll notify the heads of the departments right away, I'm going to hold a secret meeting in a moment," Bill ordered

Two days later, a message broke out on the Tianya forum

"Shocking news, windows2000 was exposed to two major bugs" content claims: Microsoft in the early hours of this morning, suddenly updated two major bugs of windows2000, but it is worth noting that windows2000 has only been released for less than 3 months. According to a relevant source, if anyone knows about these bugs in advance, they can use these bugs to take full control of computers equipped with Windows 2000 systems. Another insider revealed that Microsoft transferred $1.5 million to an unknown Swedish account last night.........

When Du Ziteng saw this post, he smiled slightly, almost forgetting that it was almost three days, and he did a good job of secrecy and logged on to the Swiss website and found that there was indeed an extra $1.5 million in his account. Then I sent an email to Microsoft. It contains the remaining bugs.

The next thing is to develop the game, and the most important thing for a game is the game, and it can be said that the core of the game is the game engine.

A game engine is a core component of an editable computer game system or an interactive real-time graphics application that has been written. These systems provide game designers with the tools they need to write games, and are designed to make it easy and fast for game designers to create games without having to start from scratch. Most of them support multiple operating platforms, such as Linux, MacOSX, and Microsoft Windows. A game engine consists of the following systems: a rendering engine (i.e., a "renderer", which includes a 2D graphics engine and a 3D graphics engine), a physics engine, a collision detection system, a sound effects, a scripting engine, computer animation, artificial intelligence, a network engine, and scene management.

However, the task of editing a game engine is very large, and even if Pig's Feet is a reborn, it is impossible to write an engine in a short period of time. Fortunately, in 1996, the "Q1 engine (Mjolnir engine, from which CS was developed)" appeared. Most of the work was done by John Carmack (the father of first-person shooters, the advocate and disseminator of 3D acceleration technology, and the author of the first enhanced graphics adapter, the prototype of the 3D graphics acceleration card). Soon after, it was upgraded to the "idTech2 engine". This was followed by the "idTech3 engine" and the "idTech4 engine". On December 21, 1999, idSoftware's Carmack released the source code of the Q1 engine (GPL-coded), allowing programmers to modify the engine and add new features.

In other words, Pig's Feet can develop "Zhu Xian" on the basis of Thor Engine, there are some problems, first of all, the Hammer of Thor engine is mainly used to develop first-person shooter games, CS, and Pig's Feet is not so compatible with the role-playing online game "Zhu Xian" to be developed. Secondly, this engine was developed in 1996, and it is still in 2000, so although this engine is still considered mainstream, it is not the top engine in the world after all, and finally the Internet speed between the United States and China at this time can only be described as very different, so the engine still needs to do some optimization in these aspects, add some other tools.

Half a day later, Du Ziteng finally downloaded the Thor's hammer engine, and then devoted himself to the great cause of engine transformation and optimization........
